skyline road C.N.F

[92yj]

went on a short run up skyline road. it was a good day.








and this is a pic of a jeep or bronco that went off of the side of the road, look close and you can see the orange x on the roof of the car. i wonder why they put the x on the roof any thoughts.

Looks like a nice day. Sure beats sitting at home! Thanks for sharing.

The Red X.......

......is usually put there by L.E. to let the next person know it has already been checked for anybody injured or a DB that way nobody has to hike down there again to check.....

[92yj]

OK cool thanks. that makes sense.

So where is the Skyline Road near Corona? I can see Corona on a clear day so I'd love to go check this out. Can you post a map or directions to the trailhead?

Ah! Got it! IF there are no gates along the way, yes, there are trails that lead to Hwy 74 just outside of Lake Elsinore. I haven't been on these trails (yet), but I have been from Santiago Peak to the 74. That part of the trail is pretty heavily used on weekends. Great views, but a dusty trail.

[92yj]

yes that is the way to get there but and a big but the gate is always closed and locked, you can get a key if you want it. the key cost 50$ and you have to sign a waver. you can go to dirtopia to get some info and links to cnf web site. or if you guys want i can always go along if needed. lol. oh and you cant go to far there is a gate at beaks place. and wont be open until November. but you can always go to Indian truck trail and get to the main divide road to Elsinore.

Absolutely correct. A big X means it has been searched. If you look at pics of earthquakes and all, you'll see big X's on walls or doors facing the street.

made another run out there today since its almost in my back yard and what a day ... pulled out 3 (2 wheel) drive trucks and one bike trailer . the funny part was they tried getting out going thru the dried up creek bed where a stock jeep might even have a hard time these guys were crazy but had no choice since they locked the gate on them and they had no way out , next time i need to bring a camera you would not believe were they tried driving thru !!!

[92yj]

oh man you are a better man then me. i paid good money for my key so i feel everyone else should do the same. i want to go up tomorrow, if time and such will allow. we should hook up and take Indian truck trail south soon.

[bullysteve]

how do you get a key ?? , i have a invite for big bear tommorrow if it falls thru i will hoop up with you and head up saturday .

Hey Jeremy, where was that lake at? My Dad tried to explain it to me, but since he doesn't know the area as well as you or I, it didn't make sense what he was talking about.

Hey barney1, for some added fun to a simple trail, we like to crawl over the big rocks at the beginning of the trail where it looks like a culdesak. It's just something else to have fun on.

[bullysteve]

thats cool , i wouldnt mind going back in further they say it goes all the way to lake elsinore , its best to travel in a group if something goes wrong , i live only a couple miles from the entrance so any time anyones heading that way and i dont have other plans i'm in !!!
